Project Day: My Pretty Bedroom Chair

This poor little vintage bedroom chair has seen better days. I picked it up for a song as the upholstery is in a bad way. I tried to use some stain remover and found it ate away at the fabric too much. So I have decided to leave it as is until I get it recovered sometime soon. But in the meantime I thought I would pretty it up. Here's what I did:

Leave some length of thread on the back of each completed yo yo stack ( see photo # 2)

Using that length, twist each stack onto the original bedroom chair button tightening gently as you go.

Time: About 25 minutes. I know it's not perfect but the chair looks a little nicer until I get it re upholstered. I may even fall in love with it the way it is! Have a fabulous weekend everyone. Keep smiling. Simone xx

Great idear Simone, shame the stain could not get out did you try making some nappysan into a paste working it in with an old toothbrush then spong clean? just a suggetion, a shame to have to upolster over the stripes!! have a good weekend :)
